MULTIX Swing
Ergonomic, reliable, economical

MULTIX Swing is a compact, costefficient radiography workplace

with a cassette catapult bucky.
It is prepared for use with film-cassette
or phosphor storage acquisition
systems.
It is especially suited for all acquisitions
of skeletal radiography of the
recumbent and seated patient:
orthopedic diagnostics

An easy-to-use system with many

advantages

Generator

Table

High-frequency X-ray generator with

multi-pulse waveform for diagnostic
acquisition procedures on radiographic
workplaces.
The multi-pulse waveform enables
high beam quality, precise reproducibility
and short exposure times.
The generator is integrated into the
table base to save space.

Patients with body height of up to 190 cm

(75) can be conveniently radiographed
from head to toe without repositioning
(with short tabletop* for smaller rooms:
170 cm / 67).
Additionally, obese patients are imaged
easily, with a table weight capacity of up
to 450 kg (1,000 lbs).

trauma, routine and ER diagnostics

thorax diagnostics
MULTIX Swing system consists of a
patient table with a floating tabletop,
a catapult bucky and an integrated
tube support with tube assembly and
collimator to meet all clinical imaging
requirements.
This system is a universal radiographic
workplace suitable for private practice,
clinics or radiology departments of
hospitals with different types of
examinations utilizing conventional
acquisition systems.

Tabletop
The floating tabletop (standard length:
220 cm / 86.6) provides transverse
movements of 12.0 cm ( 4.7)
and longitudinal movements of
60 cm / + 50 cm ( 23.6 / + 19.7).
The optional short tabletop
(length: 200 cm / 78.7) provides
longitudinal movements of
50 cm / + 40 cm (19.7 / 15.7).

POLYDOROS ITS X-ray generator:

Bucky wall stand*

For radiography of the seated, standing
or recumbent patient with horizontal
beam projection.
Counterweighted, height-adjustable
catapult bucky with oscillating grid (wall
or floor mounting available).

Tube assembly stand

Integrated tube assembly stand for
vertical, oblique, horizontal and lateral
acquisitions.
Synchronous horizontal movement of the
X-ray tube and bucky tray for constant
beam centering.
